LOL. A friend of mine came by late last week to see if I wanted to buy this. I was out of town, so he went to another friend....

1974
Original Paint, original front tire, no dents, runs perfect!!

$750.00. I offered the guy $950.00 for it already, but he turned it down.

Loud pipes save lives might be one of the dumbest lines ever invented.

In the 70's and 80's when you was watch rally in a tight forrest you could hear the cars in time to get safe but now with sound
limited regulation and the matter of fact of turbo equipped cars that are the fastest dosen't sound so mutch are really scary
so if they were louder it would be more safer for the spectator and prevent to save live, maybe not at MX, tractorpulling,F1 but in rally forrests.

Turns out... The guy had another, so I bought it last night!!!!

1972 Yamaha 250 enduro. It's a little rougher, but runs awesome! It'll be a fun project. My son, who's not into motorcycles at all, is PUMPED to 'fix it up'.. He was looking on ebay last night for little stuff. Wink

Nice Biuke Huck. Keep badgering him

I keep looking for a reasonable 69-70 (like the older tank shape) AT/DT/RT1 in decent shape and reasobly priced still with the plate. They're pretty cool bikes for sure.

He thinks he can get a 70(ish) 125 as well. He said that he's pretty sure the body is in great shape, similar to the first one (175) that I posted...




And yeah, when somebody says "must see to discuss the price"... You know it's not going to be cheap! lol

Huck, not 100% sure but that might be a 74 from the looks of that tank and the through the frame pipe. Damn sure a nice bike no matter what the year.

the 72s were green. I've got a 72 basket case, thinkin' about turning it into a period flattracker.

Nice bikes above, value on them seems to be rising.

Shoot, anything under $500, how can you go wrong...as long as it's running. I've put 100 miles on it so far, and it hasn't missed a beat!!!!!
